When it comes to life\u2019s fun and games, always know:
\n<\/em><\/strong>The rules.
\n<\/em><\/strong>What\u2019s at stake.
\n<\/em><\/strong>When to quit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wise words from\u2026well\u2026my fortune cookie. But wise words, nonetheless.<\/p>\n

I just wish the Fortune Cookie People had considered how hard the whole \u201cknowing when to quit\u201d would be to carry out when a woman like me is gambling with her feelings.<\/p>\n

Heart-palpitating, vageen-tingling, butterflies-in-my-belly feelings<\/em> for a noncommittal, hot-as-sin player by the name of Jude Winslow.<\/p>\n

After a crazy night where we were both pretending to be someone else, I\u2019ve found myself immersed in the fun of the fling.
\nThe thrill.
\nThe irresistible charm.
\nThe pleasure <\/em>of being with a man like him.<\/p>\n

Problem is, I\u2019m positive <\/em>he\u2019s the exact opposite of husband material, and that is a serious<\/em> issue for someone who is fixated on finding her happily ever after.<\/p>\n

I know the rules and I know the stakes, oh wise Fortune Cookie.<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019d just like to know how close to self-destruction I have to get before I find the will to quit Jude Winslow.<\/p>\n

Goodness knows, when your heart is on the line, you can\u2019t ante up your bet with an IOU.<\/em><\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 stars!<\/i><\/p>\n

Ever since I read Red, White, and You<\/i><\/a> and met Winnie\u2019s brothers, I have been antsy to get my hands on their books! The Bet<\/i>, book one in the new Winslow Brothers<\/i><\/a> series featuring the youngest brother, Jude, is out and it did not disappoint.<\/p>\n

Jude doesn\u2019t do serious when it comes to relationships. He has seen several go up in flames and he wants nothing to do with love. Instead, he enjoys casual hookups where hearts are never involved. Sophie is a wedding and events planner who has love on the brain. She wants to fall in love and get married but she just can\u2019t seem to find the one<\/i>. When she is challenged to just go out on dates without chasing something serious, she unexpectedly runs into a guy who stripped at her sister\u2019s bachelorette party and he opens her eyes to all the fun they can have.<\/p>\n

Jude Winslow is the good-time guy, and he\u2019s ready and willing to keep having them with me. But it\u2019s never going to check all the boxes on my list, and it\u2019s not going to end with the two of us tucked away behind a symbolic white picket fence.
\nI have to decide if <\/i>just fun is something I can handle or not.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jude and Sophie share a wild night and decide that having some fun together won\u2019t hurt anyone. They are great at keeping things casual at first but before they know it, they fall hard and it ruins everything. Or does it?<\/p>\n

I love Sophie and Jude and enjoyed getting a front row seat to their love story. They start out causal and Jude really brings Sophia out of her comfort zone in the best ways. He lets her think about something other than marriage and they have some unforgettable nights together. They really bring on the heat, maybe even more so than other books by this duo, and they enjoy every minute of each other.<\/p>\n

The more time they spend together, the more they open up. They bring out the best in each other and before long, things start shifting and unexpected feelings break free.<\/p>\n

Jude might just be a guy I\u2019m having fun with, but he makes me feel more like me when I\u2019m with him.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jude fights his feelings and Sophia is afraid of hers and they hit a major roadblock when they finally face those feelings.\u00a0The drama isn\u2019t over the top and it doesn\u2019t last long, and I love when these two reconnect after heartbreak.<\/p>\n

This book is hilarious with over the top fun and so many laugh out loud moments.\u00a0I love Jude and Sophie and enjoyed their journey. I also loved getting more of the Winslow brothers and more of Winnie, Wes, and Lexi, too. Add in Thatch because let\u2019s face it, he loves getting involved, and we have more fun than we could have hoped for.<\/p>\n

Overall, The Bet<\/i> is a fantastic start to the Winslow Brothers<\/i> series and I cannot wait for more. Each brother is so different and I want them all to meet the special ones who will flip their lives upside down. Especially Remy! I want him to find love after his heartbreak!! I love the idea of the fortune teller and can\u2019t wait to see how the other stories go!<\/p>\n
